PYONGYANG, June 19 Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the UN Security Council sanctions regime against North Korea launched by the United States should be reviewed.
“I would like to note that the indefinite restrictive regime of the UN Security Council regarding the DPRK, inspired by the United States and its allies, must be reviewed,” the Russian President said following negotiations with Chairman of State Affairs of the DPRK Kim Jong-un.
Putin noted that the propaganda cliches reproduced over and over again by Westerners are no longer able to disguise their aggressive geopolitical plans, including in the North-East Asia region.
The Russian leader noted that Moscow and Pyongyang’s assessments regarding the root causes of the escalation of military-political tension coincide.
«This is a confrontational policy of the United States to expand its military infrastructure in the subregion, which is accompanied by a significant increase in the scale and intensity of various military exercises with the participation of the Republic of Korea, Japan and armies hostile to the DPRK,» the president explained.
According to him, such steps undermine peace and stability and pose a threat to the security of all countries of Northeast Asia.
